Chapter 297: New Officials Take Office (Part II)

"Huh! Got the room cleaned up so quickly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Cao Qing smiled and looked at the room, "The room is okay!" ”

"The room was spacious and much better than I expected!"

At this time, Zhang Qu got up and said goodbye, Li Yanqing looked at his back and said with a smile: "I talked to Zhang Qu about government affairs just now, and the worry in my heart has disappeared a lot. ”

"Things are actually not difficult, I will gradually become familiar with them, and Li Zhizhi doesn't have to worry too much."

Cao Qing turned his head and waved, and the two soldiers put two large packages on the table, "This is the official uniform and military badge of the Li Zhi Envoy, we have prepared it before, and there are also a hundred Guan Hui Zi is the money of the An family, the Li Zhi Envoy will try the clothes first, and if it is not suitable, I will change it." ”

Li Yanqing opened one of the packages, and inside were four sets of official uniforms, two sets of thick clothes and two sets of summer and autumn single clothes, and then there were military badges and ten huizi, ten yuan each, and the military badge was the same as the bronze medal he saw in the box. On the front is the job title, and on the back is the name.

The other package is a hat, leather boots and leather belt, which looks no different from the civil official, all of them are in the style of a shirt, with slits on both sides, and the color is cyan, which is the color of the eight-rank official's uniform.

Li Yanqing directly took off his coat and put on the official uniform, Cao Qing pulled him behind him, and said with a smile: "General Yang Zaixing said that you are very tall, so we prepared the largest official uniform, but I didn't expect it to be just right." ”

"It's just right!"

Li Yanqing put on shoes and hats, tied leather belts, and finally hung the military badge around his waist, and suddenly became another person, extremely energetic.

At this time, the Seed Master Dao also walked over quickly, "Is Envoy Li ready?" ”

As soon as he looked up, he happened to see Li Yanqing who had changed into an official uniform, and couldn't help laughing and said: "The Buddha wants a gold suit, and a person wants a suit, and Li Zhi's envoy has changed this clothes, and it feels completely different, since we have changed our clothes, we can set off for the barracks." ”

.........

The main force of the Northwest Army led by the Seed Master Dao has a total of nearly 100,000 people, distributed in Shaanxi Road and Hedong Road, mainly deployed in the various dangerous passes close to the Western Xia, these 100,000 people are the Northwest Forbidden Army, in addition to the local Xiang Army, the township soldiers and the soldiers, the total number of Lin Lin adds up to about 100,000 people, although it is led by the states, but they are all controlled by the Seed Master Dao, in fact, the total strength of the Northwest Army is close to 200,000 people.

The military camp that Li Yanqing is going to is located in the north of Taiyuan City, called Hedong Daying, which is a plate-walled barracks covering an area of several thousand acres, which can accommodate up to 100,000 troops, but at present there are only 30,000 people in the barracks, and the barracks are in a long shape from a high altitude, extending more than 10 miles to the north, and there are currently more than 5,000 large tents, and there are more than 10 large and small training schools.

The barracks are divided into two parts according to their functions, the south is the big tent and warehouse area of the Chinese army, and the north is the soldiers' camp.

The barracks are about five miles away from Yangqu County, everyone urged the horses to gallop all the way, and arrived at the south gate of the barracks in a short time, at this time, the master said to Li Yanqing and smiled: "The rules of the barracks are stricter, there are special military discipline gendarmes, and the six relatives do not recognize when implementing the military regulations, and I will tell you slowly when I turn back, but at the gate of the barracks, you must remember three points, the first is to enter and exit the barracks with a military card, even if you know, you must check the soldiers guarding the door, and I am no exception; Second, when entering and leaving the barracks, you must dismount, because the barracks are too large, and you can ride horses in the barracks, but you must take the horse path; Third, you must wear formal clothes when entering and leaving the barracks, not civilian clothes, you are a civilian official, just wear official uniforms; By the way, I would like to add two more points, women are not allowed in the barracks, military prostitutes are not allowed, and alcohol is not allowed in the barracks. ”

With that, they came to the gate of the barracks, met a few soldiers, bowed to the planter, and saluted, "Please show your military badge!" ”

Everyone took off their military badges and handed them to the soldiers for inspection, and at this time, Li Yanqing noticed that the military badge of the Planter Dao was actually a silver medal, not the gold medal he had always thought.

The seed master understood his surprise, and said with a faint smile: "My official position is not high, and the rank of loose official is only a fourth-rank doctor, and at least the third-grade or above can use the gold medal." ”

Li Yanqing heard the highlight of this sentence and said in surprise: "Could it be that the handsome is also a civil official!" ”

The seed master laughed, "I am a civil and military officer, but I am a civil official, otherwise how could there be a military general in the Great Song Dynasty who is in charge of the army?" ”

Li Yanqing secretly laughed at his confusion, the master is the commander of the Northwest Army, of course, he is a civilian official, how can he be a military general?

At this time, the soldiers had finished checking the military cards, flashed to both sides, everyone dismounted one after another, led the horses into the barracks, after passing the gate, everyone got on the horse again, and slowly drove along a horse road in the direction of the Chinese army's big tent.

"That's the military district of the civilian officials!"

Seed Master Dao pointed to a tent not far from the big tent of the Chinese army and said with a wry smile: "I arranged it last year, but everyone is reluctant to move into the barracks, and I have no choice, Yanqing go and have a look!" ”

Li Yanqing nodded, urging the horse to run towards the military affairs area, there are about more than 100 big tents in the military affairs area, and there is a sign hanging at the door of each big tent.

He tied his horses to the door of the big tent, lifted the curtain and walked into the big tent, only to see that the big tent was unusually spacious, at least more than 200 square meters, several times larger than his official room in the military office, the light was soft, and the ground was covered with a thick carpet, which was very soft and comfortable.

Seed Master Dao also walked in and said with a smile: "I haven't had time to set up the tables and chairs yet, but it's ready, Li Zhizhi will wait for a while." ”

The planter said, and in just a moment, the soldiers moved all kinds of tables, chairs, and cabinets into the big tent, and the planter said a few more words to him, and then returned to the big tent of the Chinese army.

Li Yanqing sat down on his chair, in front of him was a heavy and wide table, and there were three large bookcases behind him and put them together, like a screen separating the big tent in half, there were several boxes on the right, and there was a small wooden cabinet on the left to place all kinds of documents.

At this time, someone outside the big tent asked: "Envoy Li, can you come in?" ”

"Please come in!" Li Yanqing turned around and said.

An official in his forties walked in from the outside, Li Yanqing was already able to distinguish the other party's position from the official uniform, this official was wearing a white official uniform, which meant that he was not even the main business of Congjipin, but only a practitioner.

"You ......"

The man bowed and saluted, "In Xia Yan Jiuling, let the soldiers engage!" ”

"Why are you here?"

"The humble duty is to inspect the damaged bow and put it into the warehouse, and I heard that the envoy Li is also there, so I came to see him."

Li Yanqing suddenly became interested, and hurriedly asked, "Has it been checked?" ”

"Not yet, I just arrived and I'm about to go to the warehouse."

Li Yanqing hurriedly smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll go with you!" ”

The warehouse group covers an area of hundreds of acres, enclosed by a high wooden fence, and there are hundreds of huge long tents inside, neatly arranged in more than 20 columns, and there are soldiers guarding the door.

The warehouse area is divided into eight divisions, where various military materials are placed, among which the largest warehouse group is the grain and grass warehouse, which is composed of more than 100 giant tents, each of which covers an area of at least one acre.

"Our military division is the second largest warehouse group, with thirty-five large tents, and all other weapons except armor and riding equipment are in our place."

"What are you going to do today?" Li Yanqing asked.

"That's the case, the 3,000 soldiers who went to Shaanxi for the march drill yesterday have just returned, and there are 252 bows damaged, and they apply for a new bow, but according to the regulations, the replacement of weapons damaged in training must be exchanged for new ones, this is to prevent soldiers from secretly taking out weapons and selling them, and now a good bow can be sold for 3,000 yuan, and the old bow has been put into storage, and I am going to check it now."

They walked quickly to a large tent with a sign written on it that read 'Bow Warehouse', and two soldiers were in charge of the warehouse.

Seeing Yan Jiuling's arrival, the two soldiers hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and Yan Jiuling introduced them with a smile: "This is the new Zuo Director Li Joins the Army." ”

The two soldiers hurriedly knelt down on one knee and saluted, "See Li join the army!" ”

"No need to be polite, please get up!"

Li Yanqing let the two soldiers get up, nodded to Yan Jiuling again, and motioned for him to start working.

Yan Jiuling took out a list and said to Li Yanqing: "At this time, when I applied for the bottom list of bows and arrows, I took away a total of 3,000 bows, with the range of bow numbers on them, today I want to count the damaged bows, and then draw one percent of the bows to check the bow number, as long as the number is consistent and the bow number matches, even if the inspection is passed, when the Li Zhi envoy approves the new bow and arrow application, he will see a damaged bow warehousing inspection form signed by me, and other knives, swords, spears, shields and other weapons are the same, and they must be approved by Li Zhi. Only the military can come to the warehouse to receive new bows and arrows, and the process is relatively simple, but very strict. ”

"Don't you give approval to the marshal?"

"No need, as long as Li Zhizhi signs and agrees, but after arriving at the Moon Chassis Warehouse, Li Zhizhi needs to write a report to the marshal."

Li Yanqing nodded, this is exactly the same as what Zhang Qu said, he probably already understands what he has to do every day.

"What if I'm not there, or if I'm on leave?" Li Yanqing asked again.

"If the envoy Li is not there, they can be authorized to the directors of each department, and they can temporarily approve and handle it, and when the envoy Li returns, they will focus on supplementing the signature, which is generally the case."

"I see, let's inspect the warehouse first!"

Li Yanqing followed Yan Jiuling into the warehouse where the bows and arrows were stored.
